Yeah well, they aren't cheap. They aren't expensive, but at least $20, at least that's what I had to pay for mine.

These fucksticks who want to inconvenience everyone else due to their irrational fears need to stay the fuck home if they're so terrified.

Since people that are vaccinated can catch and transmit Covid, shouldn't everyone need a test?

Low drama event to me.

Hey thanks for the invite, gonna pass this year.  Happy Thanksgiving.

Its possible he sprung it on you at the last moment because his FIL sprung it on him at the last moment.  Either way, just not a big deal.

And I would most likely decline.  Not interested in inserting myself into that dynamic.

Why should I have to prove anything medical to this random stranger when he has the option of staying home and avoiding danger altogether?

Has he wanted people to prove they don't have the flu or a cold at every Thanksgiving in the past?

The home test kits really aren't bad. The one at CVS is BBC thick, which honestly still wasn't that bad, but made me tear up a bit (and I had to get an official test afterward to get comped for missed work, before anybody hits me with the "WhY eVeN GeT tEsTeD!? cAnT lEt ThE lIbErAlS WiN!" bullshit). You don't have to ramrod the shit into your brain, you just insert and rotate, like you're training for the rainbow Olympics.

$100 says you’re the only one being ask to test because they’ve all been discussing that you’re not vaxxed. Meanwhile anyone of the dumbasses could be positive and passing it around.

I took 3 different home tests from 2 different manufacturers and all were negative.
I had covid and my PCR was positive.
So fuck all that.

I would decline and let him know exactly why in a calm and polite way.
There are greater losses than than turkey foods with mentally ill people.

Or tell him you are deathly allergic to FIL favorite thanksgiving food and could he please not serve it.

Are they all going to take the test?  Just because they've had the shot doesn't mean one or more of them doesn't have covid.  Having the shot means nothing.

Seems pretty easy honestly.

If you want to enjoy the time with those specific people, go and take the test. Shut up and eat your taters and stuffing.

If you don't want to enjoy the time with those specific people, and this request is not something you're willing to accommodate, send a polite note tanking them for the invite but you're doing something different.

Not everything is a massive turning point in civil rights history.

Eh, even my grumpy old ass got invited over to my ex MIL's house for Thanksgiving. They are stupidly lib but even they aren't THAT dumb.

And remember, even the vacced can still carry and transmit the virus.

I just wish the sick and/or scared would accept responsibility for their safety and self quarantine if they are so afraid of the world today. [that they caused]

All these covid things family/friends ask/demand prior to a get together, the decision to do or not to do is entirely your choice.  Don't let GD tell you what to do, if you want to go and don't mind taking a test, then go.  If not, then don't, it's that easy.  There is no obligation for you to make excuses to your friend or feel you may ruin their holiday.  They had no compunction when it came to making the request to you.

I have the Pfizer vaxx, both shots, and intend to get the booster next month.  I couldn't give one fuck what GD or any other person has to say or thinks about it, I am doing it as my choice.  I do, however, draw the line at taking a test prior to going to a get together, restaurant, airline or anywhere else I can choose to not go.  But that is me and not anyone else.

yeah, I was being sarcastic to prove a point, he can simply just not go.

there doesn't need to be any drama. Just politely decline.

I just did 2 tests before showing up to my elderly parents house, 90 and 84 years old. Mom vaxed, dad not. 2 day drive. One test before I left the house, another test a mile from their house. For their age group they have about a 20% chance of death from covid.

I care about them and was not asked to do it, not even mentioned,

I did it on my own because I have allergies and I wanted to make sure as much as I could

but if OP doesn't want to he can just politely decline. there doesn't need to be any drama, even posting about it is all about the drama

why make a big deal out of it, just politely decline. Why do so many people create drama?
